As physically imposing as Matayo Uiagalelei can be on the field as a two-way star for one of the top high school programs in the country, he’s also artistically gifted off it, weaving together beat patterns as a music producer. “It’ll probably be one of my careers after football, or even during football,” Uiagalelei told the Los Angeles Times. His producer tag is @young_concrete, along with his Instagram and Twitter handles. Uiagalelei watched his older brother, D.J. Uiagalelei, now the starting quarterback with the Clemson Tigers, as the ball boy for St. John Bosco until his freshman year. Coach Jason Negro said Matayo Uiagalelei’s ability to learn two game plans – splitting reps at practice between tight end and defensive line – is impressive. “You have to give him a lot of credit for the mental side,” Negro said.

Matayo Uiagalelei is a jumbo athlete who projects as a defensive lineman long-term. He presents a high upside while still having room to continue developing as a defender, similar to Taco Charlton at the same stage. Charlton had a breakout senior season production as a defender and played both defensive end and tight end, like Uiagalelei.

Not enough on film yet to project a level. Add more game film and verified measurables to unlock a full projection.

Undetermined

A developmental projection today — keep adding film, measurables, and reps, and your evaluation grows with your game.

Blue Chip

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

A big jumbo athlete who doubles as a tight end and defensive end for one of the nation’s top high school programs. Has unique movement skills and speed at 6-foot-5 and over 260 pounds. Is able to run with linebackers and some defensive backs at his size. Has shown some improvement as a pass catcher over the course of 2021. Likely has a higher long-term upside as a defensive lineman or even offensive tackle rather than tight end. A flexible athlete off the edge who shows the ability to dip and bend at his size. Upped his production on defense as a senior, registering 12.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. Can continue to increase his physicality on a snap-to-snap basis.
